 2003 harley davidson fxdp m/c. had both tires changed by an independent service business. note: changing tires on a m/c requires the vehicle to be realigned. from this time the m/c began to wobble, and became unstable. i returned it to same business who could not remedy the problem, and have presented it to 3 different harley davidson dealers who have been unable to remedy the problem. being that it is a m/c that is unstable, it is a potential life threatening condition. each of the repair attempts involved changing and/or servicing the steering head bearings, front forks (shock absorbers), and alignment adjustments. have also changed to another brand of tire, all to no avail. *jb
